Human hot shot method 🥛

For those who make up their bottles doing their own hot shot method, do you keep you cooled boiled water in the fridge or just at room temperature? Please can you tell me your ratios for hot/cooled for a 120ml and a 150ml feed? If you’re keeping the cooled boiled water at room temp, how long is it safe to use?

Flask reccomendations

Please can someone recommend a flask which keeps water above 70 degrees for making bottles on the go? I have the Nuby rapid cool but only made them with water straight from the kettle so far and just moved to combi feeding so it’s all new to me to make formula up on the go☺️
